THE SHOOTING OF STONE
WALL JACKSON.
j. BASEL,
A. +. WHELAN,
IRA G.. PosT.

After night fell. Stonewall Jack
son rode out with his staff to recon-
noiter in front of the line he had
gained. 1t was his idea to stretch
completely around in the rear of
Hooker and cut him off from the riv-
er. The night was dark and Jack
son soon came upon the Union lines.
Their infantry drove him back, and
as he returned in the darkness his
own soldiers began firing at their
commander, of course mistaking his
party for the enemy. Jackson was
shot in the wrist and in the upper
arm at the same time. His horse
turned, and the General lost his hold
of the bride rein; his cap was brush
ed from his head by the branches
He reeled and was caught in the
arms of an officer. After moment
he was assisted to 'dismount, his
wound was examined, and litter
was brought. Just then the Union
artillery opened again, and q mur-
derous fire came down upon the par
ty through the woods and the dark,
ness. One of the litter bearers
stumbled and fell, and the others
were frightened: they laid the litter
on the ground, the furious storm OF
shot and shell sweeping over them
like hail. Jackson attempted to
rise, but his aid-de-camp held him
down till the tempest of fire was
| lulled. Then the wounded General
was helped to rise, and walked q few
steps in the forest; but he became
faint, and was laid again in his lit
ter. Once he rolled to the ground,
when IN assistant was shot, and the
litter fell. Just then General Pen
der, one of his sabordinates, passed
he stopped and said: 81 hope you
are not seriously hurt, General. ]
fear l shall have to retire my troops
they are so much broken"
But Jackson looked up ut once
and exclaimed: You must hold
your ground, General Pender; you
you must hold your ground, sir!
This was the last order he ever
gave. He was borne some distance
to the nearest house and examined
by the surgeon, and after midnight
his left arm was amputated at the
shoulder. When Lee was told that his
most trusted Lieutenant had been
wounded he was greatly distressed,
for the relations between them were
almost tender jackson has lost
his left arm" said Lee, "but | have
lost my right arm. ."-Adam Bdded"

Herr Schiller, well-known Ger
man architect, reports some facts of
interest as indicating the radius of
the circle of protection of good light
ming rods. On June II last, at the
village of Montigen.lightning struck
a pear tree 33 feet high. On one
side, 115 feet away, was school
house, with a rod Sc feet high. On
the other side was church, 32S feet
away, having a lightningrod reach
ing up 154 feet. Both rods were
we'll placed and had worked well when
tested, and the level of the foot of
the tree was about the same as that
of the two buildings. 1t is evident,
then if the facts have been accurate
ly reported, that the radius Of the
circle of protection is not more than
twice the height of the rod.

SURGERY RY A BIRD.

A Cleveland man discovered q
birds nest in his barn, and found in
it two young swallows. Upon TAX
ing one bird in his hand he was as
tonished to find one of its legs very
thoroughly bandaged with horse
hair. Having carefully removed the
hairs one by one he was still more
astonished to find that the nestling's
leg was broken. Upon visiting the
''patient the next day the leg was
again bandaged as before. The bird
surgeon was not again interfered
with, and IN about two weeks it was
found that the hairs were being eau
tiously removed, only q few each
day, and finally, when all were tax
en- of, the callus was distinctly felt
and the union of the bone evidently
perfect, as the bird was able to fly
off with its mates.

BREAD MAKING. /.

The Milling World gives the fol-
lowing facts of interest to all house
wives:
A barrel of -four should make
from 270 to 2S5 five cent loaves.
Many bakers blend four brands, as
two Minnesota springs and two In
diana winters, before they get the
right alloy. Others use only one
grade of spring and two of winter
wheat. These make the best brands
of fancy bread. Formerly yeast was
made Of malt, potatoes, and hops,
and this is extensively used. Fancy
bread bakers use patent yellow
compressed yeast. 1t is popularity
supposed that bakers use alum ex-
tensively in order to whiten their
bread. That is not the fact. There
is no necessity for the use OF alum,
and it is not used in the trade.
There arc about twenty large steam
bakeries in New York, which give
employment to several hundred men.
One of these, a noted Broadway es-
tablishment, makes speciality Of
Vienna bread, and does an immense
business. Vienna bread is made in
air tight ovens, of the best grade of
-four, and milk is used instead of
water in mixing the dough. In bak-
ing, the steam settles back on the
bread instead of escaping. This
makes the outer crust thin and ten
der, and gives the bread peculiarly
rich taste and pleasant aroma.
What is known to the trade as
"steam" bread is another recent in
vention. 1t is made of the very fin
est of flour and baked in air tight
pans, which inclose it on all sides.
1t is thus baked in its own steam,
and possesses a flavor peculiarly its
own. One very large bakery in New
York is devoted solely to the pro-
duction of aerated bread. 1t is a
steam factory, and the bread so made
is extremely light and spongy The
invention is an English one, but
has been in use here for years.
When the dough has reached GER
tain consistency, it is run into an
air tight cylinder and strongly i'm
pregnated with carbonic acid gas.
This creates the lightness and spon-
giness without detracting in the
slightest from its nutritious quail
ties

HOW TO BOIL ONIONS.

To every quart of onions you will
need quart of cold water and half
a tablespoonful of salt Boil slowly
for two hours, then drain in colan-
der and let them get cold. Make a
sauce with tablespoonful of butter,
the same of -four and one half pint
of milk, rub butter and flour thor
oughly together and add a little
black pepper; boil the milk and
pour it over the Hour and butter,
and stir all the time to keep SIN Doth
put the onions in the sauce and let
them remain there until the sauce
boils; the sauce ought to be very
thick when served.

AMERICAN VS.. RUSSIAN Pc.
TROLEUM.

United States crude petroleum oil
is to Russian crude rs cream to
skim milk. United States crude
yields about rs per cent. of the fin.
est Illuminating oil the world pro-
duces. Russian crude yields only
about 20 per cent. of an inferior IL
Eliminating oil. United States crude
yields about IL per cent. naptha or
spirit Of such valuable character
that it readily sells for 20 per cent.
per gallon more than the oil. Rus
sian naphtha is unmarketable, and
it is mostly burned to get rid of it..
United States lubricating oils, an
other product of crude, arc now so
low in piice that Russian lubricat-
ing oils are practically .debarred
from competition in many of the
European markets. United States
crude yields considerable percent
age OF scale, used for candle making
and this is product of great value;
weight for weight it is worth four
times more than refined petroleum
oil. The Baku crude yields no scale.
Thus the United States, in the sur
passing richness of its crude, has an
enormous and unapproachable adj
vantage over Russia.
The daily production of the Uni
ted States is in excess of the world s
demand, and has been sopractically
for the last ten years. In addition
to this excess in the daily produc-
tion of the United States, there are
stored there, above ground, 34,SO0,-
900 barrels of AZ gallons each, the
actual unmarketed accumulations.

THE TRUTH ABOUT BLOOD.
HOUNDS.
Rochester On. " Union.


Every time dogs are put on the
trail Of 4 criminal the telegraph is
sure to say they are bloodhounds.
Now, there are not many blood
hounds in this country, and we ven
ture to say that of the few there
never was one of the breed used i'm
trailing men. The dogs which be
fore and daring the war were used
to track runaway slaves were always
spoken of as bloodhounds, but they
were nothing like the animals be-
longing to that breed. They were
cross between the Siberian dog
and the long low hound so much
used by Southerners in hunting.
The strain of Siberian blood gave
the result Of crossing tLe large head
and short ears as well rs size, and
the strain from the hound gave the
animals the sharp scent, which cna
bIed them to follow a scent hours
after its making. These dogs were
ferocious, while the true bloodhound
is anything but that. The dogs
running in the street here which are
called bloodhounds come from the
stock used tor the purpose described
in the South, but are not so well
bred. They are more of cur as
general thing. a thoroughbred
bloodhound is one Of the handsom
est dogs that live. He is a large,
heavy-boned animal, with long ears
and a broad, pleasant face, with
brown eyes, which, on account of the
red always showing, are considered
by people who do not know any bet
ter a sure indication of savagcness.
The bloodhound is a dog much mis-
represented. He has n bad reputa
tion, which he never earned himself.
but was given him by persons who
knew not what they were talking

POISONED ARROWS.
Omaha Republican.


l had often heard of the poisoned
arrows, and determined to ask the
old Indian arrow-maker about them
and how they were made and i'm.
pregnated with the deadly poison
which they were supposed to con-
tain. He looked at me for full
minute and then said:
"First we take a bloated yellow
rattle-snake in August, when he is
most poisonous, and tie him with a
forked stick to stake; then we
tease him till he is in great rage.
This is done by passing switch
over his body from his head to his
tail. When he thrashes the ground
with his body and his eyes grow
bright and sparkle like diamonds,
We kill a deer, antelope or some
other small animal and, tearing out
the liver, throw it to the snake
while it is warm and the blood still
coursing through it. The reptile
will strike it again and again and
pretty soon it will begin to turn
black. When lie tires the snake is
teased again and he is induced to
sink his fangs into the soft flesh
until all the poison is extracted from
him and the liver is reeking with it.
He is then killed and the liver lifted
with a sharp pole, for so dangerous
is it no one dare touch it, The liver
is to let lay for about an hour, when
it will be almost jet black and emit
a sour smell. Arrows are then
brought and their iron heads pushed
into the liver up to the shaft. They
are left sticking there for about an
hour and half, when they are with
drawn and dried in the sun. A
thin, glistening, yellow scum adj
heres to the arrow and if it but SO
much as touches raw flesh it is GER
tain to poison it TO DEATH"
/ asked if Indians still used pois
oned arrows. "No," he replied, mo
man, Indian or white man, for years
past, has been shot with these ar
rows and they are no longer made.
